Government Shutdown Affects UI Students
The current federal government shutdown has significant implications for some University of Iowa students, causing financial strain and uncertainty.
The shutdown resulted from a budget impasse between Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. Senate, after Congress failed to pass a federal budget for the new fiscal year.
Lawmakers remain divided over government spending levels on certain programs, such as health care and foreign aid, leaving many agencies without approved funding.
For individuals like Elsa Juarez, a third-year UI student and single mother of two, the shutdown is impacting her ability to cover basic living costs.
Juarez relies on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
The shutdown has real-life implications for some University of Iowa students.
